The Season: Sixers at Heat Round 2, Game 2 -- 5/4 @ 7:30 PM

What Harden doesn't have right now because he hasn't been able to rehab fully is the spurts of dominance. I believe he can still be "Houston Harden" for say a 6 minute spurt at the end of a close game if he's healthy. The days of him doing it for 30 minutes is absolutely gone forever.

But the complete inability to do it right now in a spurt is coloring the fanbase's judgement of him.

He's absolutely wilting in the second halves of games right now.

The prospect of his exhibiting a "spurt" at the end of a close game -- in "closer" fashion -- is dim.

You think he's incapable of it because of some esoteric DOG metric that is not measurable and pliable to whatever theory floats your boat in the moment you draft a post (even while you make concurrent arguments on different topics that are in total structural conflict with each other). I think it's because he's injured. There's not much else to discuss or an area of debate.

No I think he’s incapable of it because he has been wilting in second halves. He’s averaging just over seven points per game in the second half in the playoffs. That’s not your closer.

Why do the Sixers series keep getting the short end of the stick schedule wise. Why in the world is there a full four days betwen game 2 and 3 in the Milwaukee/Celtics series and the Sixers series even with a chang in venue is every two days lol for the firs 3 games. I know its for TV but still could be the difference between Embiid playing in game 3 or not a an extra day or two here or there. I mean the Heat are the number 1 seed lol they get no schedule help either as they are dealing with some injuries.

Ferry is the first one here I've ever put on ignore, and it actually makes the board more enjoyable to navigate. Guy is a clown and a troll desperately seeking attention.

You would think being consistently negative all the time would get old but yet it doesn't. Between him and guys like Bum it's always the same, but if it never gets old for them then why should it get old for me? What's good for the goose I guess, but I don't believe in ignoring anyone, to me it's just a necessary evil kinda thing.

Enough with the insults. If you want to ignore him, then ignore him. But don't say you're ignoring him and then insult him.
